That way if I upgrade to a bigger tank or decide to feed some kind of reactor off the return or whatever I have enough power to do so. You could do the same thing... go bigger and slow it down with a valve.

If you are setting up from scratch I would go with gate valves as I have ball valves on my setup and they are a PITA, it's really hard to get them set properly as they are so touchy.
